      Is Mozilla in on it too? Because they’re the ones who orchestrated laying off Steve Teixeira.

        this week the chat has all been “Mozilla are going in the wrong direction , They’re selling out, they using AI, they’re hiring ad experts”. - all over xitter all over lemmy.

        Now someone dug up this old story about teixeira Suing them, because he claims they demoted him because of cancer. A

        With the scarcity of facts available at this stage , one thing we know is that both AI and advertising were championed by…. Texeira - ex of Microsoft, twitter and Facebook.

        So, an alternate but equally plausible narrative, might be “Teixeira strayed to far into commercialisation, received a shitty performance review, and got moved out of his role”

          Yeah especially if you look on reddit, it’s a handful of accounts with a very concerted effort.

          Don’t get me wrong it’s shitty behaviour, but it’s also fairly obviously some are getting paid to suddenly do this.
